Flavrbox aims to bring the farmer’s market to your door. It’s like Glossybox, but for posh food. Every month a box arrives, filled with delicious goodies such as shortbreads, sauces, jams, teas and chocolates.

When eHarmony UK asked to team up with me on a competition, I said yes. I suppose that Flavrbox and online dating are not dissimilar: both involve trying something new, cater to various tastes and may involve drooling.

Would you like a free six-month subscription to Flavrbox? Then this is the competition for you.

Use your Nectar points & exchange them for Vue Cinema vouchers! This will make for a free night out if you have enough points!
& Wetherspoons have good deals on Tuesdays (Steak Club) & Thursdays (Curry Night) so you can get a good meal & a drink for a bargain price before you go to the cinema

Whenever me and my husband want somewhere really special to go, we head to the beach. It where we spent all our first dates (as penniless students) and where he proposed to me. We can sit there for hours just talking and splashing in the sea.

have a trip to your local forset and gather some twigs, cones and berries. Then when you get home you can create your own christmas reef with a little ribbons and fishing line. great as a cheap christmas gift for someone too….. tip to make it last till next year- buy some gloss and cover the reef. great for added wow and will reserve reef for longer

The thriftiest date I’ve ever been on was when we went to the local museum and aquarium (both free entry) in the afternoon, then stopped off at his in the evening so he could show off his cooking skills. It was super cheap, we had great food, a great time and I also learnt he’s a great chef!

Always meet for drinks, not dinner on a first date, that way if there’s no spark you can excuse yourself after a few drinks without offense or if there IS a spark you can move on to dinner
